Thanks though.
I don't have to be tough My car's faster than yours. I can run!
And you're the one who brought up the V6 numbers buddy.

P.S That IS the car that lacked the supposed power that Ford said it had.

"But straightline performance was a puzzle. "We expected to hit 60 mph in about five seconds flat," Winfield said, "but 5.5 was the best we could do -- 0.1-second slower than the previous model. Top speed was also down, from 153 to 149 mph...all of which confirms that our low-mileage prototype test car wasn't making a full head of steam."

Sure enough, a manufacturing glitch had left Cobra intake runners and some exhaust components with internal aluminum residue or "flash" that upset air flow and kept more than 30 horses from showing up.

After fielding a few dozen owner complaints, mostly from drag racers, Ford recalled all 1999 SVT Cobras on the ground to replace the manifold or ream out the existing one. "

Nice car, tough guy. Mine makes the power I need to wipe the floor with you and your smart remarks.
